Complete In Christ - Colossians Series - 4

Tune and Hymn: All For Jesus

Colossians 2 v.9-23

********

In Christ does dwell all the fullness

Of God, it be nothing less

He full human, full divine He

Through endless ages shall be

 

And we are complete in Him, see

He head of all powers be

And o'er all principalities

He rules, from Him evil flees

 

Christ does take our sinful nature

To His cross, nails it there sure

When He died our old selves died too

Now in Him we are made new

 

And no accusations can stand

Against us, for by His hand (Spirit)

He has blotted them out, and we

Forgiven by Him, set free

 

So no extra items needed

Christ has done it all indeed

Lived, suffered, died, and rose again

Saviour of all living men (mankind)

 

Pride, vanity, and selfishness

Causes us ourselves to bless

And to try salvation to gain

Human efforts useless, vain

 

Here no special elite knowledge

Nor our bravery, courage

Can obtain our way to heaven

Look to Christ, see Him again

 

He the sacrifice, offering

Redemption He does us bring

And we complete in Him, all we

Provided by Him, here see

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. metre. This seems to get to the heart of the short study series I am doing. We can't save ourselves. At times we may think we can contribute something towards it, or try to get there by our good works, but cannot do so, as explained in the poem. This study was sub-titled: 'No extra items needed' (verse 5).
